Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use bar trays from KaTom?
Our trays are essential for restaurants, bars, hotels, catering companies, and anywhere that requires secure, efficient transport of food and beverages.
What is the difference between a non-skid tray and a standard plastic tray?
A non-skid tray features a specialized rubberized surface bonded to the tray to prevent items from shifting. Standard plastic trays have a smooth surface and are typically used for cafeteria-style service rather than active drink delivery.
How do I clean and maintain my bar trays?
Most dependable service trays are dishwasher safe; however, frequent high-heat cycles can eventually wear down non-skid coatings. For maximum longevity, hand washing or using low-temp cycles is often recommended by manufacturers.
